Where is the Consistency? How reliable is Acronis?
I keep having problems with Acronis. It just is not a straightforward program. I figured that a disk backup is somewhat of a mystery. So who knows how that works, when it in fact does the backup.
But with files backup, that should be simple. But its not. I have it set to backup daily at 11:00. (I wish I could have it Monday-Friday, so that it does not start up first thing Monday morning) This week it did back up the files on Mon and Tues, but not Wed and Thurs. I noticed it this morning, Friday, and had the program open. Now its backing it up and taking, so far 45 minutes. The "Time Left" has been at 4 minutes for 45+ minutes. I do not know why any of this happens. Some days it simply does what it should and backs up in 7-10 mintues. Now I see its backup up all the files after 10, update-only backups.
Also if you want to check the files backed up. You have to go through a long process. Why not just be able to click through and see the files. If you click on yesterdays backup icon, after a long while, you get the same thing, as the previous screen, a list of all the backups. The View is not Details, so you have to change that to see which backup it is. Then you get to C: and can click to the files you want. Why the extra two steps? Why not have it go to Detail View.?
